ADATA XPG Lancer Blade 16GB (DDR5-6400, CL32) Desktop RAM

Description

Low-Profile DDR5-6400 CL32

The AX5U6400C3216G delivers one of the most attractive combinations in this range: DDR5-6400 CL32 performance in a low-profile form factor. The Lancer Blade boasts a low-profile heatsink that fits perfectly in smaller PC cases and avoids interference with tower CPU coolers, with sleek geometric lines adding versatility and visual appeal to any case design. The module measures 133.35 × 40 × 7.86mm — standard length, reduced height, compact depth — ensuring compatibility with virtually all CPU cooler configurations regardless of tower size.

SK Hynix A-Die ICs

The Lancer Blade DDR5-6400 uses eight SK Hynix A-die memory chips per module, running natively at DDR5-2400 with timings of 40-39-39-77 at 1.10V via JEDEC, with XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO profiles unlocking DDR5-6400 at 32-39-39-89 at 1.40V. SK Hynix A-die is one of the most broadly supported DDR5 IC types across Intel and AMD DDR5 platforms, contributing to the Lancer Blade’s strong real-world compatibility track record.

Performance & Dual-Platform Overclocking

Both Intel XMP 3.0 and AMD EXPO are supported — making this one of the few low-profile DDR5-6400 CL32 single-stick modules with certified overclocking profiles on both major platform ecosystems. With Intel XMP 3.0, overclocking is easy without the need to repeatedly adjust and fine-tune parameters; AMD EXPO provides compatibility with the latest AMD platforms for reliability and stability. CL32 at DDR5-6400 delivers approximately 10ns absolute memory access latency — matching the Kingston Fury Renegade DDR5-6400 CL32 at the same frequency, in a build-agnostic low-profile package.

💡 XMP 3.0 or AMD EXPO must be enabled for rated speed: Without activating the appropriate profile in BIOS, this module defaults to JEDEC DDR5-2400 at CL40. Enable XMP 3.0 (Intel) or EXPO (AMD) to unlock DDR5-6400 at CL32-39-39. Updating your BIOS before installation is strongly recommended.

💡 1.4V is normal at DDR5-6400 CL32: The elevated operating voltage is within safe DDR5 parameters for this speed and timing grade.

DDR5 Features & Quality

High-quality ICs and PCBs ensure uncompromised performance and reliable overclocking. The built-in PMIC enhances power supply stability. On-die ECC corrects errors in real-time for increased stability and reliability. Dual 32-bit subchannel architecture improves memory access parallelism over DDR4’s single 64-bit channel — a standard DDR5 advantage present across all modules in this generation.

DDR5-6400 vs DDR5-6000 Lancer Blade

The AX5U6400C3216G steps up significantly from the DDR5-6000 CL48 Lancer Blade (AX5U6000C4816G) already in this range. Both share the same low-profile heatsink and cooler-clearance advantage, but the DDR5-6400 CL32 variant delivers substantially lower absolute memory latency and higher bandwidth — the natural upgrade path for builds where cooler clearance is a constraint but maximum DDR5 performance is still the target.

DDR5 Platform Requirements

DDR5 is not compatible with DDR4 motherboards or slots. A DDR5-capable motherboard and CPU is required — Intel 12th generation or later on a DDR5-compatible board, or AMD Ryzen 7000 series (AM5) or later.

⚠️ DDR5 is not compatible with DDR4 slots: Verify that both your motherboard and CPU support DDR5 before purchasing.

⚠️ Single stick = single channel: For dual-channel bandwidth, install a second AX5U6400C3216G in your motherboard’s recommended paired DIMM slots. Refer to your board’s manual for the correct slot configuration.
